[__ Darwin __] How Darwin got his ideas - the TRUTH

"It will be sometime before we see slime, snot, or protoplasm generating a new animal. But I have long regretted that I truckled to public opinion & used the pentateuchal term of creation, by which I really meant 'appeared' by some wholly unknown process" Darwin

Darwin's natural philosophy drove his quest to find an alternative to creationism.

Darwin's attribution of the origin of life to God, in On the Origin of Species, was an expression of his religious views, which he subsequently admitted did not belong in a scientific work.

As he indicates, the way life began, has no implications at all for evolution, which would work the same way no matter how the first living things were created.
